Why it was fun at Christmas time in Cataluña?
To be honest I did not expect a Christmas market of that size in Cataluña! Honestly. And the atmosphere was very nice! The only thing I really missed is the mulled wine 😕
Let me now tell you a couple of exotic Catalan Christmas traditions 😅
Tió de Nadal ("Christmas Log") 🪵
From December 8 (the Feast of the Immaculate Conception), you can start feeding the tió a little bit every night and usually cover him with a blanket so that he will not be cold. At the end, on Christmas Eve he will actually… defecate presents… 💩🎁🎅
El Caganer" ("The Pooper") 🤎
This is a tiny figurine depicted in the act of defecation 💩 appearing in nativity scenes in Catalonia. It might symbolize the fertilization of the ground of the nativity scenes. Modern caganers represent celebrities and authority figures - so, showing them with their pants down, the caganer kind of brings their mighty down, makes them more humane.
Sounds cool, right?
Do you know any other Christmas traditions that can beat these two?
